Tom Swift Lives! Repelatron Skyway (Tom Swift reimagined!) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A raging forest fire and daring sky-rescue are only the prologue to young Tom Swift's newest fantastic exploit! From the very moment Tom agrees to help the government of Ngombia unify the new African nation by constructing a transport system to link its two provinces — separated by thick jungle and an eerie, seething swamp — he is beset by mysterious adversaries who will not allow Swift Enterprises to succeed where others have failed. Tom comes up with an amazing scientific solution to the problem, an aerial highway suspended over the jungle at treetop height, floating on invisible repelatron beams. But Ngombia holds hidden threats. Weird, gigantic creatures stalk the rain forest, somehow linked to a long-missing scientist and his remarkable discoveries. Magic, menace, and the hatred of one tribe for another complicate the skyway project and threaten to spread to the United States, while the young inventor and his friend Bud face down the fierce challenges of a primeval African land — haunted by the past. By the author of the YOUNG & SMART series.
